I guess I am in trouble...
Oh no Herman... having children is easy. They sleep constantly, never make any noise and are perfectly happy to sit quietly while you work on your models. Nope... No trouble at all my friend...
When I was young I used to say "[I]When I grow up I'm going to be somebody!"
[/I]
I now realize I should have been more specific.
I wanted to avoid this question, I have to come clean, I have a Monogram Bugatti 35B that I started in my 20s, I am now almost 63. Made Belts of leather, wired the body together with "Crystal Thread", even did photo reductions to get my two color emblem for the radiator. No `puters back in the `70s for the general population. I open the box every couple of months with a wistful look. This is work I did in my 20s.
So... From 1974 to 2011. Do I win the Slacker Award?
This isn't a record, but it may place. It is wood and paper, eyeball scale. The Ashley Lykes was my first ship as an engineer cadet, I started the model in early 1980 while wating for my next ship, then never picked it back up. Amazingly it has survived moves, storage in a woodshed, and pine beetles. Here's to another 31 years.

Hi, here he comes, another longtimer (and old timer too).

Hi, I’m hooked on this thread boy.
Let me start:
1982 I bought two Pocher Kits, the Rolls Royce and the Mercedes 540K.
The RR was finished and sold.
The Mercedes was started to build. Then stopped building model cars.
In 1990 I started with my Mercedes SSKL, stopped a few years later.
Started building the SSKL again in 2010 and still not finished yet………and I work on it when ever I have time (I’m retired you should know).
Three or four weeks ago I opened the Pocher box and disassembled the unfinished Mercedes 540K model. Will start building it again someday, ergo still in progress………….(28 years)
And I can proof this all because I have written down the date on the instruction sheet. I promise you *lol*
I’m thinking about if I started building a model during the Civil War….I was really young at this time.
I wish a happy day
Wolfgang

I guess I'm a manufacturer, but...
Back in 1972 when I was but a wee lad, my folks bought me a Monogram snap kit. Hemi Semi if I remember it correctly. We were on vacation at the time, and the kit got left behind before I could finish it. Never saw it again.
So technically it's still unfinished after 39 years.
Is that cheating?
